"Pokémon: Mewtwo's Counterattack Evolution" is undoubtedly the most anticipated feeling of the post-80s generation at the end of this year, if not even one of them.
In November, the post-90s sentiment "Digimon: The Last Evolutionary Bond" was released. In December, even though the filming was rare, Pishen and Xiao Zhi suddenly appeared on the big screen in China. In the city where I live, there is only one theater in the neighboring area that has a daily schedule. I did not hesitate to cross the area to catch up with the only one at 12:30 noon. Apart from my friends and me, there was only another child sitting behind us, his mother. After seeing him in, he left. The child asked me abruptly, Uncle, will you mute your phone? I thought I was vaccinated in advance so that I wouldn't disturb him, but he handed over his phone and asked me to help him mute his phone.
When the lights in the theater went out and the screen turned on, the Pixel Pikachu jumped out of the green monochromatic screen and turned into 3D. That moment seemed to be an alternation from GB to 3DS. Since February 27, 1996, from From GB to GBA, to NDS, to 3DS, and even now to NS, Pikachu numbered 025 has existed in the Nintendo world for more than 20 years.
After entering the introductory part of the movie, the first appearance of the dream is undoubtedly the most exciting. Although it was born as a prank, the dream is a legendary existence in the red and green years. The big eyes behind the leaves all indicate the departure of the dream.
Immediately, the popular player Chao Meng was born
After the introduction, the challenger appeared, Xiao Zhi and all the Pokémon players' Yu Sanjia appeared, and the BGM sounded. At that moment, I couldn't wait to play a full screen of "Ye Qing Hui" on the screen.
The progress of the plot is almost the same as the original version, and some parts that are slightly procrastinated and inconvenient for non-Pokémon fans to understand have been deleted, such as the early appearance and disappearance of the three copies of the imperial family in the title, as well as the creation and disappearance of Dr. Chao Meng and his daughter AI The bridge section of the screen, from receiving the invitation letter - encountering wind and waves - entering the island - battle - clone battle - super dream VS fantasy - ending.
But many of these almost identical storyboards still trigger emotional outbursts.
There are many interesting tribute eggs in the whole plot, such as when copying all the pokemon, Musashi Kojiro muttered to himself to the monitor
"Who is this?"
"Jenny Turtle!"
Corresponds to the dubbing of the Pokémon mini-show in the animation cutscenes.
Another example is the episode of Miaomiao watching the moon, in addition to being consistent with the original version, it also pays tribute to the animation version of OP Miaomiao's song playing the piano to the moon under the tree.
In addition to the easter eggs, some subtle changes are also very clever, such as adding fire-breathing dragons, six-tails, and da ducks during a picnic on the grass, which further highlights the theme of the film - the harmonious coexistence of humans and Pokémon.
But despite many excellent changes, there are still unsatisfactory ones, such as the deletion of a large number of Pokémon, such as the hot monkey running through the treetops during the dream peek in the title; Pokémon has also been replaced; the variety of Pokémon waiting at the port has also become less, and in general, compared to the original, some less popular Pokémon have been removed, such as Mewtwo vs. 3-in-1 Magneto , Battle Hudi, etc. In addition, when the dream first arrived on the island, he played with the windmill. The original version slides to the next fan blade in turn, and the revised version is to sit on it and slide into the air. This revised version has lost the simplicity and cuteness of the dream.
The plot trend is basically the same as the original version, including the resurrection of Ash at the end, Super Dream and Dream, and the departure of the clones, etc., and even more than 90% of the lines are consistent, which can be said to be full of feelings.
Many people will say that this is another act of harvesting leeks by capitalism. The lines, plots, and storyboards are all too lazy. Maybe many people don't understand. Pokemon dreamed of becoming a Pokemon trainer in the 80s. Said, not logic, not reason, not movies, but the beauty that really exists in the heart.
When the teacher asks what is our dream?
Some people say they want to be scientists, some people say they want to be teachers, and some people say they want to be artists, but there are many of us, who are looking forward to being born in Zhenxin Town, and being able to discuss with Dr. Damu. A jenny tortoise, can run in the grass and meet Pikachu, let the carp king brush experience evolve into a tyrannical carp dragon, be able to gallop on Route 23, be able to defeat 8 gym owners to challenge the national competition, there are forever partners here With opponent Xiao Mao, there are helpless bad guys Rocket Team, there are secret passages, rivers, mountains, oceans, and countless trainers are exchanging Pokémon.
Later, we will grow up slowly, we will put down GB, we will carry bricks and go to work hard, there will be sweat, tears, helplessness and sadness, we may not remember the reason why the seeds of the wonderful frog do not want to evolve for a long time. Maybe for a long time I can't remember the little flashes of Ba Dahu's evolution, or maybe I can't remember the laziness of Pikachu lying on the red hat for a long time, but in the deepest part of my mind, there are red and green, gold and silver. , There are red, blue and emeralds, black and white, and swords and shields. There, we will have Pikachu who will always be intimate, and there will be 151 Pokémon that will never be caught. When you put down the tiredness of the day and inadvertently see the GB parked in the cabinet, you will smile, you will be full of energy, you will be very excited, and you will eventually remember, your dream:
I'm going to be a Pokémon master!
